Notes left at the table.
From memory- this one I remember started off well but a strange bitterness took over after a couple of seconds. Disappointing.

Light red. A good middle-weight, dry with strawberry on the palate and a nice warm glow.

This got a bit better over time, but I was rather disappointed by this showing. A bit thin and dirty on the nose, with not much structure or acid in the mouth, and finishing a bit harsh (the finish did improve a bit in time). Not bad, per se, but really not what I would have expected from a 77 Warre. 83
